MYCGR3G111221 — Zymoseptoria tritici

Summary

Mg3LysM (MYCGR3G111221) on Zymoseptoria tritici chromosome 11 encodes a protein with lytic endotransglycosylase activity, PAMP receptor decoy activity, and chitin binding. It is associated with effector-mediated suppression of host pattern-triggered immunity, effector-mediated suppression of PTI signalling, virus-induced PTGS, asexual sporulation, and sporulation. The protein localizes to the host intracellular space, host apoplast, hyphal cell wall, and extracellular region. It contains LysM domains. Related genes in other species link the family to suppression of host immunity through chitin binding and receptor decoy mechanisms.
